"They define themselves" - Marc Marquez
Dre and Cam sit down for a heated and emotional Grand Prix weekend in Misano for the GP of San Marino. During it, Marc Marquez actually crashed during Saturday's Sprint Race, won by Marco Bezzecchi and led to a huge number of his and Valentino Rossi's fans booing as he hit the deck. Was that okay? Is booing in sport a fight worth having?
Marc would take revenge in the Grand Prix, in a dragged out war with Bez's Aprilia, with both men pushing to the absolute limit, but Marc ultimately came out on top, and with it, puts himself on the brink of his 9th World Championship.
Also in the episode, more on Pecco Bagnaia's struggles, KTM and the story of three chains breaking on their bikes over the weekend, and the strange decisions from Liberty Media in regards to focusing on the Premier Class of MotoGP and pushing Moto2 and 3 into less air time, temporary garages, and a new MotoGP Hall of Fame that focuses on Premier Class achievement. Is that a good idea for the series in its attempts to grow like F1?
All that and more in a new, M101!

615: Little Brother - 2025 MotoGP GP of Catalunya Review
Technically speaking, this means it's still been 105 days since a Marquez failed to win. Technically.
It was a tale of two races in Barcelona, as Alex Marquez went from Zero-to-Hero, crashing out from a comfortable lead in the Sprint and gifting Marc Marquez his 15th consecutive win, before coming back on Sunday to take his second GP victory and beating older brother Marc straight up for the first time all season.
The boys also review the rest of action, including Fabio Quartararo and Yamaha's soon-to-debut V4, Pecco Bagnaia and the latest in his struggles, and the changing face of MotoGP as Guenther Stiener becomes MotoGP's newest owner, leading a consortium to buy out Tech3 KTM for $20m. Is it a sign of things to come for the sport with F1 kicking the door down to invest?

614: "Fair Play" - 2025 F1 Italian Grand Prix Review
We just can't have anything straightforward at McLaren can we?
Dre, Cam and RJ are back to make sense of F1's latest trip to Monza's Cathedral of Speed and the 2025 Italian Grand Prix.
One part was straight-forward and that was Max Verstappen, whose work with Red Bull's new floor and new low-downforce package led to the fastest lap and race in F1 history, a lap at 164mph, and a race that was over in just 73 minutes, at an averagew speed of 155!
But behind him, there was drama with the McLaren's running second and third. Lando Norris had a bad final stop via a faulty wheel gun, allowing Oscar Piastri to get back in front, only for McLaren to call for fairness, and to swap the drivers back around. Is this okay? Should McLaren aim for fairness with its riders, even with team orders on the table?
And finally, is Stefano Domenicalli right for steering F1 towards "shorter attention-spans" in its younger audiences with radical ideas such as reverse grid sprint races, less practice time, or even shorting races themselves? All that and more on another Motorsport101!

613: Lando's Flashpoint - 2025 F1 Dutch GP Review
Just when you thought the title fight was reaching its climax...
Dre and RJ Review the 2025 Dutch GP from Zandvoort, as Oscar Piastri lead from lights to flag in the Australian's first career Grand Slam victory., But right behind him, a severed oil line via Lando Norris' chassis lead to a DNF, and a 34-point mountain to climb for the British driver, meaning likely having to win at least 7 of the final 9 races to take the title. Can it be done?
Further behind, it was a disaster day for Ferrari as Lewis Hamilton crashed out running wide at Hugenholtz, only for teammate Charles Leclerc to be taken out laps later by a hard-charging Kimi Antonelli. Is the talk of Antonelli being dropped and his struggles becoming too big a deal?
Also, Isack Hadjar took advantage of a brilliant qualifying lap and Norris' blow-up to finish 3rd, his first podium in F1, and the 5th youngest driver ever to do so. Is he in line for a Red Bull promotion, and if so... does he even want it?

612: Power Outage And Herta Gone? - 2025 IndyCar Nashville Review
We'll be honest, it's rare when IndyCar takes priority over F1 or MotoGP in this network. However, given all the bombshells coming out of the series that affects now only IndyCar, but potentially European Motorsport and F1, we thought we'd make an exception.
Dre and RJ sit down to discuss the final round of the IndyCar season first, the Music City Grand Prix from Nashville Superspeedway. And it turned out to be a home win and a small season salvager for Josef Newgarden and Team Penske, taking just their second win of 2025 in an intense battle with Alex Palou (again), as well as teammate and ex-Bus Bro Scott McLaughlin. There's also the elements of some nasty blocking penalties, and Pato O'Ward's leading car suffering another Firestone tire blowout, the fifth of 2025. Awkward.
But the bombshells have come since the race was over. Just yesterday at time of upload, Will Power announced he was quitting Team Penske after 17 years with the team, with the Australian seemingly heading to Andretti for 2026 replacing... Colton Herta?!
The American is seemingly dead set on an all-in attempt to get to F1, leaving Andretti to head to PREMA Racing's F2 team to try and get the last 5 points needed for him to gain an F1 Superlicence and possibly, a Cadillac seat in the future. Dre and RJ try to break down Will Power's Penske legacy and what next for him, his likely replacement in David Malukas, and then the risks involved in Colton's European move and what it could mean for his racing future. And why there's already a case study as to why this might not work...
